Royal Bloom

Competition Results

Background Information

This exciting competition aims to encourage and assist community groups and individuals to enhance their local environment.

This might be through the use of:

• flowers,
• colour,
• shrubs,
• sunny window boxes,
• breezy hanging baskets,
• blossom filled borders and pots
• and a myriad of other exotic garden ideas.

Over time the planting and development will enhance and compliment the beauty of our built environment – streets, squares, parks and roadways. Every little bit we do throughout this competition should be done in such a way that it contributes to our enjoyment of our own places – and leaves our mark on the landscape that can be enjoyed by the next generation.
